Psychoacoustically-motivated Dereverberation for Recordings Taken in the German Parliament
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we discuss the application of speech dereverberation techniques for post-processing of recordings taken in the German parliament. Based on a novel psychoacoustically-motivated dereverberation concept, a significant improvement in terms of the perceived quality is obtained in comparison to a conventional dereverberation approach. Since time-varying changes of the acoustical environment are negligible, all required acoustical parameters such as reverberation time (RT) and direct-to-reverberant-energy ratio (DRR), are determined in an off-line procedure.

Age-dependent electrocardiographic and echocardiographic changes in German Shepherd dogs
By causing numerous changes in the cardiovascular system, ageing leads to a decreased threshold for clinical manifestation of heart disease. The aim of this study was to define the existence of cardiac structural and functional changes in healthy dogs of different age. Radiographic, electrocardiographic (ECG) and echocardiographic examinations of 20 clinically healthy German Shepherd dogs were ...
متن کاملDigital Vlsi-implementation of a Psychoacoustically and Physiologically Motivated Speech Preprocessor
A digital VLSI implementation of a psychoacoustically and psysiologically motivated preprocessing algorithm is introduced. The algorithm consists of several stages motivated by the signal processing in the human ear and was successfully applied to a wide range of applications by the Medical Physics Group at the University of Oldenburg. The processing scheme has been partitioned and will be impl...
متن کاملMulti-channel psychoacoustically motivated speech enhancement
Multichannel techniques offer advantages in noise reduction and overall output signal quality when compared to the well studied mono approaches. In this paper we present an original multichannel psychoacoustically motivated noise reduction algorithm that naturally extends the single channel psychoacoustic masking filter previously studied in the literature [1]. The optimality criterion is desig...
متن کاملPsychoacoustically-motivated adaptive β-order generalized spectral subtraction based on data-driven optimization
To mitigate the performance limitations caused by the constant spectral order β in the traditional spectral subtraction methods, we previously presented an adaptive β-order generalized spectral subtraction (GSS) in which the spectral order β is updated in a heuristic way [10]. In this paper, we propose a psychoacoustically-motivated adaptive β-order GSS, by considering that different frequency ...
متن کاملMusic Dereverberation by Spectral Linear Prediction in Live Recordings
In this paper, we present our evaluations in using blind single channel dereverberation on music signals. The target material is heavily reverberated and dynamic range compressed polyphonic music from several genres. The applied dereverberation method is based on spectral subtraction regulated by a time-frequency domain linear predictive model. We present our results on enhancing music signal q...
